The AI conversation tutor built specifically for HSK learners. Practice speaking from day 1 — no more "can read but can't speak".
Built by Chinese developers 🇨🇳 · Powered by state-of-the-art AI (LLM + STT + TTS)
You're not alone. Millions of learners hit the same wall.
50 million people study Chinese worldwide. But the top app, HelloChinese, has only 500K downloads. The market is massively underserved.
Most learners pass the written HSK but freeze in the HSKK oral exam. There's no AI tool for real speaking practice.
HSK exam fee: $100-200. HSKK oral exam: zero dedicated tools. Traditional tutors: $30-100/hour. There has to be a better way.
Built for HSK learners. Powered by AI. Designed by native speakers.
AI uses only vocabulary from your HSK level. HSK 3 students never see HSK 6 words. Difficulty adapts as you improve.
例：HSK 3 对话不会出现 HSK 6 的词汇
Full simulation of the real HSKK exam: read aloud, Q&A, picture description. Get a predicted score + detailed feedback on 5 dimensions.
The first tool to do this for Chinese learners.
Every sentence gets analyzed on 4 dimensions: tone (声调), grammar (语法), word choice (用词), fluency (流畅度).
Every mistake auto-saved. Spaced repetition brings them back at the perfect moment. Inspired by Chinese 错题本 tradition.
Never make the same mistake twice.
Practice what you'll actually use: ordering food, taxi conversations, job interviews, business meetings.
From HSK 1 basics to HSK 6 professional fluency.
State-of-the-art technology, expertly tuned for Chinese learners.
Top-tier large language models (GPT-4-class), optimized for natural Chinese conversation and instant feedback.
Industry-leading STT that catches tones, pauses, and pronunciation with millisecond accuracy.
Human-quality Chinese voices. Listen to authentic pronunciation anytime.
Unit economics: AI cost under $0.02 per conversation · 95%+ gross margin

We're developers based in China 🇨🇳. We watched millions of people worldwide try to learn Mandarin and struggle with the same problem: they can read, but they can't speak.
We tried every app. None felt right. Duolingo was too shallow. HelloChinese was too traditional. Speak only did Korean.
So we're building ChatMandarin — the AI tutor we wish existed when we were helping our foreign friends learn Chinese.
Powered by state-of-the-art AI, voiced by natural Chinese TTS, designed by native speakers who know what's natural. We pick the best models for Chinese — and switch when better ones arrive.
— Building in public. Follow the journey below.
ChatMandarin supports HSK levels 1-6. Complete beginners can start with HSK 1 conversations — we'll guide you word by word.
Duolingo is great for vocabulary and basic grammar. ChatMandarin is for when you want to actually speak. We focus on real conversation practice with real-time AI feedback.
Yes — every sentence gets tone-by-tone analysis. You'll see your tone curve vs. the correct one, with specific feedback on what to improve.
Absolutely. HSK levels map to vocabulary difficulty. If you want "I can order food and have basic chats" level, that's roughly HSK 3.
We're opening private beta in [Month, Year]. Waitlist members get in first, with 30% off the first year.
We don't store your voice recordings. Conversation text is stored only so you can review progress. Delete everything anytime.
